God does't because he loves us

Are you saying that he does not have a sense of humor? Can you not laugh at those you love? Granted, when we see others laugh at us our first instinct is to get defensive and ASSUME that such laughter is done in a negative context, however, that is not always the case. I say that sense we laugh so must our Creator.

If god existed (and I were he) I would come down to earth to prove my own existence beyond any shadow of doubt. Faith would then become irrelevant. Admittance to heaven would be based solely on works.

Then all other religions EXCEPT Christianity is for you. That is if God proved himself to you. So, would you win the good work contest or loose? Just how good of a person are you? If you won, I would assume you are all that and a bag of chips. I can hear them now. Hail, hail oh righteous ringwett. Praise be unto thee!!!

What do you mean by 'love'.

Surely the meaning is not the same as in normal usage. Is it ?

I wouldn't delegate the task to some bumbler who gets himself crucified. I'd do it myself. More of that Old Testament interaction. But instead of smiting people right and left, I'd do some good things for a change. I would lead by example.

So you want to say work is not important in Christianity, and if you do good or bad it doesn't matter,

You are right Christianity wins here, you are free to do what you want as long as you born again. Easy job !!!

Do you think if GOD came to you and tell you I'm GOD you believe him.

The other important Questions , He already sent you many messages but you ignored them and request the he himself come to you and beg you to believe in him. Do you think GOD needs you to believe in him?

GOD sent many messages to humans. Telling them I'm your GOD, your creator, Worship me. Isn't that enough?

Yes , you are right. Every body will do that, I will do that. I do that with the Bible.

what I did with the Bible for example is that I read it. And I found many questionable locations and tried to understand them and found them not making sense.

Of course I read Quran all the time, and I found many people talking about errors. When I found someone talks about Quran I go read. There are many books written by Muslims dealing with the interpretations of Quran. I refere to them seeking answers.

Did you do that with Quran?

My be you did and my be not, But did I talk about Quran in my post

I did not say good works were not important did I? I merely am saying that they do not save you. There is a difference. Works should give God the glory not man and ONLY God should recieve such glory. Therefore, why do we enable others to take such glory for themselves?
